The Distance

Live

let him come into the city 
   let him find his lucky penny 
  let him put it in his pocket and shake it all around 
 
  I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you 
  I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews 
  the desert had been done before, but I didn't even care 
  I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair 
   I saw that... 
 
   oh the distance is not do-able 
   in these bodies of clay my brother 
  oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable 
   guess it's natural to feel this way 
  oh, let's hold out for somethin' sweeter 
   spread your wings and fly 
 
   my car became the church and I 
   the worshipper of silence there 
   in a moment peace came over me 
  and the one who was beatin' my heart appeared and.... 
 
   oh the distance is not do-able 
   in these bodies of clay my brother 
  oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable 
   guess it's natural to feel this way 
   oh, are we locked into these bodies? 
   let's hold out for somethin' sweeter 
   spread your wings and fly 
 
   oh, are we locked into these bodies? 
   are we anything at all? 
   let's hold out for somethin' sweeter 
   spread your wings and fly 
   this distance is dreamin' 
   we're already there tonight
